Pakistan's government released a detailed readout of US President-elect Donald Trump's phone call with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, saying Trump praised Sharif as a "terrific guy" and called Pakistanis "one of the most intelligent people."

Sharif apparently called Trump to congratulate him on winning the White House.

The Pakistani news release said Trump called Sharif a "terrific guy" with a "very good reputation."

"You are doing very good work which is visible in every way," Trump said to Sharif, according to the readout. "I am looking forward to [seeing] you soon."

"As I am talking to you, prime minister, I feel I am talking to a person I have known for long," he added, according to the readout.
